What supplements should I use for a dog with hip dysplasia?

I’d recommend salmon oil and Vitamin E. Salmon oil is a natural anti-inflammatory.

I’d also recommend one of our glucosamine formulas, I use Syn-Flex with my dogs.

For joint support and pain relief, Soothe Joints and Comfort Aches. These are safe for long term use.

Personally, I would not use any form of carbofen (Novox or Rimadyl) on a dog unless it was a last resort. It has a lot of dangerous side effects, a google search will turn up a lot of info. Hopefully her vet informed her of the risks before prescribing it.

I would also make sure she’s keeping this dog thin, to ease stress on the joints and I would also recommend a grain free diet. I don’t know what she feeds but any type of grain in a dog’s diet can cause inflammation in joints, skin and ears. We have a great section on feeding dogs on the website.

I hope this helps.
